He believes that although Artificial Intelligence is currently disguised as a helpful digital assistant and helping us with autonomous works like self-driving car and all.

Once it gains a foothold in our society, it could betray us and lead to our extinction. Hawking warns that AI and robotics could evolve faster than human beings could, and their goals and mission for existence will …read more
